I hope they bring out a good stage for them. Was gonna say spidey but since it seems to always be glitchy the first date of a tour maybe it will be the Vegas stage. What does this arena hold?

Ikons · Post by **Ikons** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 1:20 am

I'm looking forward to the videos. I'm curious to see if they've got a new stage.

About 15000. It's actually a stadium that holds about 35000, but for concerts it's cut in half.

Wonder if Putin is a KISS fan?

In the Russian/Cryllic language, the band's name cannot properly be pronounced as we all know it here. You and I know the word Kiss to rhyme with words like Criss, This, Piss, Miss......over yonder KISS is pronounced "KEES" - to rhyme with Peace, Lease, Fleece.

Imagine him singing I Was Made For Loving You in his broken English with that Russian accent.

How strange it feels to reach a point where that's vaguely possible. This is becoming a question to ponder about our world leaders, haha.

My guess it will be a very large stage, which will open up to reveal a smaller stage, which will open up to reveal a smaller stage...

On the subject of the stage, apparently the new set up is pretty epic. No idea what it will be (this info is third hand) but it's overseas already. Exciting times ahead, KISS Army!

I hope you're right. I'd love my band to give me some reason to keep believing.

I'm certainly no insider. I just spend far too much time reading Facebook threads and some folks have claimed that the newly designed stage is in Europe already. If it turns out to the Spider, don't come after me!

Crown Royal · Post by **Crown Royal** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 8:03 am

Maybe they added another leg to the Spider.

While anatomically incorrect, nevertheless it would mean more lights.

Hopefully it's a newly designed Tank!

Honestly, I don't expect the stage to be much different than on the FTR tour. If there was a new stage, I think we would have heard the usual hype from Gene and Paul about it.

They're calling it the Spidapede...

They've added more "legs."

Which is only fair, because Peter and Ace liked to toot their own toot for a while.

My guess? A "Vegas"-type stage will be used.

nibbler1982 · Post by **nibbler1982** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 3:50 pm

I thought the FTR stage was pretty cool. I liked the way the overhead LEDs worked in unison with the rest of the screens. Add that to the telescoping cherry pickers and it was awesome. Throw in Gene and Paul flying, Tommy shooting out the lights with his rockets, and Eric's drum riser (with or without bazooka)...then we got ourselves a KISS concert!

Of course if they got something new in store I'm always up for that too.

Yep. All eyes will be on the FAQ this Monday when they kick off the tour. Can't wait.
I love when KISS are on tour and we get all the footage, photos, setlists and details coming in every other day. Bring it on!

They had Vegas stage in Europe in 2015.

Absolutely. I'll take any new addition I can get.

The curtains seem in an odd position. The band will be facing one side of the stadium? Or is that one of the ends?

And if it is, they're that close?

Rat, if I may be so bold.

I'd love to know if the whole map was in play. In the top diagram it's the KISS seating chart as per the Olympiski website. I'm working wondering if the "side" sections were sold. If you look at the second diagram, it's the one for when Queen visited the venue. As you can see it says the far ends are under the heading of "sectors not for sale". I love to know if they're filling those section for KISS.

If you could give me a heads up after the show it would be greatly appreciated.

The last time I was at this venue the configuration made it literally impossible to see the stage from those sections far at the sides, this is why they were not on sale, I thought it was the same for most performances. Anyway I'll try to take some pics tomorrow and tell my impressions about the turnout

I'm thinking it will be what they played recently, so add Hide Your Heart, Crazy Nights, Say Yeah etc in there.
Good setlist in my view.
